Gold cleared the $3000 (~Rs 88000) milestone target driven by risk aversion. Gold closed the year 2024 at $2640 (~Rs 77800), and the “Gold and Silver Outlook—2025” yearly report recommended buying gold on 1st Jan 2025 for the target of $3000 in 2025.

The uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump’s trade policy keeps investors on edge, and it continues to act as a tailwind for the gold market as the new week begins.

Friday’s dispute between Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and US President Donald Trump and Europe’s growing disagreements with the US over its Russia policy will support safe-haven gold, as investors keep an eye on European efforts to develop a Ukrainian peace plan.

Due to concerns about a global trade war and Trump’s tariffs, the price of gold continues to be optimistic. The dollar index is impacted by falling US bond yields, which also give precious metals more support.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding U.S. policies, trade tensions, global military conflicts, and overall socioeconomic uncertainty, gold reached a record high of $2968 (~Rs 86350) for a week before retracing lower.

Gold touched a record high of $2910 (~Rs 85200) as traders reacted to President Trump’s threat of new reciprocal tariffs, enhancing its safe-haven status. Now the question is, when will it touch $3000?

After hitting an all-time high last week due to rumors, the price of gold dropped by almost 1% today as the U.S. dollar strengthened on growing concerns of a global trade war following U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff measures.

The gold market is on track for its greatest monthly performance since September and is having its best start to the year since 2023 as prices test the upper end of their range near $2790 (~Rs 80300).

Gold has risen more than 3% and silver by 7% in January-to date, supported by safe-haven demand amid political and economic uncertainties. The main factor supporting prices is the speculation that President-elect Trump will impose tariffs after his inauguration ceremony on January 20.

The main theme of the first week of 2025 was the strength of the US dollar. The strength of the Greenback may limit the upside potential of dollar-denominated gold, as a higher USD makes gold more expensive for buyers using other currencies.

Gold is expected to finish the year up 27%, its greatest yearly performance since 2010. This spike has been supported by central bank purchases, rising geopolitical risks, and major central banks’ monetary easing. Rising global tensions have supported gold’s resilience this week.
